Why Snout?
We think blogging was meant to be focused on the writer. You should have the right to focus on your words without advertisements and without complex websites. We also believe in the general freedom of speech* and we also believe in your privacy. It is why we don't require an E-mail to sign up and accept physical cash.
* within reason. We don't tolerate harassment or hate speech targeting people for their inherent characteristics, nor bullying or doxxing people.Why pay?
Nothing is ever free. There is the cost of hosting, human labor, and money. Some platforms attempt to make up for this by showing advertisements based on your behavior based on what you do on their platform (and sometimes others) or have a paid plan where paid users subsidize free users with less features, For Snout, we charge everyone €5 per month for the same features for everyone. It also acts as a barrier to spam.
